Gas prices fall: Five days and counting Friday, September 05, 2008
CNN Money -- NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Gasoline prices eased for the fifth straight day, even as Tropical Storm Hanna bears down on the Carolinas, according to a nationwide survey of gas station credit card swipes. The average price of regular unleaded gasoline fell 0.4 cents to $3.674 a gallon from $3.678 a day earlier, motorist group AAA said Thursday. Gas prices were mixed in the three states that lie in Hanna's direct path. Prices were slightly lower in Georgia, slightly higher in North Carolina and unchanged in South Carolina. Nationwide, Alaska and Hawaii remained the two states with gas prices still tracking above $4 a gallon. The cheapest gas was found in Delaware, where prices averaged $3.451 a gallon.

	Connecticut Prices. In March the cost of a barrel of oil is that same as it is now. Gas at the pump then was $3.35 gallon now it is $3.78 a gallon. I would say there is some gouging going on here.

	Not our gas prices. We had a 27 cent increase on Wednesday on our gas prices around here. Most of our stations raised their gas prices to $3.75 Wednesday, and since then they have been ripping us off.

	Theorectically, the price of gas is purchased at different time on the commodities market than oil is. However, if you look at the price charts comparing gas and oil prices, there seems to be a direct correlation most of the time - except for the recent drop in oil prices not reflected by comparable prices in gas.
